Since this is his last day at the company he's been working for the past three years, John asked me to make a couple batches of cinnamon rolls so he could bring them in this morning for everybody. He said he wanted to go out with a "bang!"
So, last night and very early this morning (he has to be there by 5:30 am), I got the cinnamon rolls ready. Pulled them out of the oven and frosted them right before 5:30, so they would be nice and warm when he brought them to work. They looked and smelled heavenly.
After John left, I sat down to enjoy one with my coffee in peace and quiet before the girls woke up; and while I was sitting there, I thought, I need to put this recipe on my blog and I need to take a picture of a cinnamon roll before they're all gone. People like to see pictures of what you're writing about, right?
I got out a pretty plate, put a new cinnamon roll on it and frosted it carefully. Then I realized I couldn't take a picture of it on my dining room table because it wasn't nice enough. So I got out some pretty napkins and arranged them with the plate on it. Then I thought I should put a mug of cofffee in it to really complete the picture. So, I dumped my coffee into a nicer mug and looked for the camera.
The camera was full, so I had to go through and delete a bunch of pictures. I was ready to start shooting. I took one picture and the camera shut down, low battery. Oh no! No worries (as Lexi would say), I could probably snap a few by turning it off and on real quick.
As I was leaning over my dining room table, one half covered with junk, the other with a pretty napkin, taking pictures of a cinnamon roll on a fancy plate at 5:30 in the morning with my camera shutting down between each quick snap, I thought, "I am truly crazy!"
I'll post the cinnamon roll recipe later...with a picture, of course!

I do believe as mothers and women, every single one of us has a story like that. Alot of people would have given up right away. Even though it is just a cinnamon roll, it shows that if we just try a little harder and think a little smarter we can do anything we set out minds to!!! I hope you have an amazing day and thank you for sharing this. I really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI do the whole "clear half the table for a picture" thing often :) Gordon thinks I'm crazy but that's ok ;) AND blog posts are definitely better with pictures!
